Joe Rogan Gets Banned

Joe Rogan was banned from The Comedy Store after releasing this video of him exposing Carlos Mencia for stealing jokes.

The aftermath of the video of me clowning Carlos Mencia and exposing him for being a joke thief released its havoc on the internet like a tidal wave of exposure and comic justice. Unfortunately, it also got me banned from the club. I got a call from Mitzi Shore the owner of the comedy store yesterday, and she wanted to hear my side of things. I told her what happened on Saturday night with the whole Carlos thing, and she told me that she would try to work it out. She called me back today to give me a spot tonight at 10pm, and said that Carlos and I would just have to avoid each other around the store. She asked me what times I wanted to go on stage this weekend, and I said as long as I got on before Carlos I didn’t care. I said thank you, and hung up. Then I get a call from Tommy the manager of the club an hour later. He told me that “they” had decided I needed to “take a break” from the store, and that Carlos was physically threatened by me, and worried about me being around. That, and they’re upset at me for putting the video up on the internet because they had asked me to stop filming my internet reality show “the JoeShow” at the club.
